Sheffield Wednesday head coach Carlos Carvalhal praised his players for perfectly executing his plan in a 1-0 win over Newcastle United, in Round 3 of the Capital One Cup.

Carvalhal made 10 changes from the team that defeated Fulham in the Sky Bet Championship at the weekend, and the Portuguese boss was delighted as the Owls left St. James' Park victorious – earning a home tie with Arsenal in Round 4.

“We played a patient game and we struck, I thought, at the right moment. We should have scored again very soon after but I am happy with 1-0 at the fantastic home of a Premier League club," the 49-year-old boss added.

“This is a wonderful feeling for Sheffield Wednesday, it is our moment tonight and I say thank you and dedicate this to the fans.”
